pressed the opinion that. there are errors
in the record which will be %eognizable
by the United States supreme court. and
has expressed his willingness to accept q

themselves until their friends began to
come in.

the examinations sufficiently for me to
definitely refuse to do SO. I will never
allow q mans life to be sacrificed If I can
